Install the desktop client
via Office 2013 !!

App Problems:
- APP client is difficult to
use without touch
screen
- Desktop sharing do
not work
- It shows phone
number ins contact,
even if you are not EV
enabled
- Sometimes IM do not
appear

IPv6

 IPv4 depletion has caused enterprises to start planning for
transition to IPv6 seriously
 Exponential growth of mobile devices has forced carriers to
start issuing IPv6 addresses
 Goals for this release :
• Lync 2013 scenarios work well in a dual-stack IPv6/IPv4
environment
• IPv6–capable: If IPv4 is disabled from the network, Lync
should continue to work for all the basic functionalities
 Recommend converting entire deployment to Lync 2013 before
enabling IPv6, for simplifying interoperability

Scale and Resiliency

 Lower-cost high availability
 Identical clusters paired as active-
active backup of one another
 Real-time replication between paired
pools of unified communications (UC)
data

 Faster disaster recovery
 Each pool carries 50% of total load
 Users re-routed when home Pool fails

 Service resiliency Shared Servers Shared Servers

 Works across pools or datacenters
P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9 P10
 Outage leaves services unaffected

 Workloads
 100.000 user / pool active
 1.000.000 user / pool identities
(passive)

Database Mirroring

SQL Mirroring Major Steps: SQL Server Requirements:
• The primary server’s version of
• Use Topology Builder to configure Topology SQL Server must support SQL
for Mirroring mirroring.
(Mirroring Port 5022) • The primary, mirror, and the
witness (if deployed) must have
the same version of SQL Server.
• User Management Shell to install Mirror
Install-CsMirrorDatabase • The primary and the mirror must
have the same edition of SQL
Get-CsDatabaseMirrorState Server. The witness may have a
different edition.
• Configure SQL Witness

Other Server Improvements

 Consolidated Archiving

 Server to Server Authentication Protocol

• OAuth cloud process

• OAuth on-premise

© ACP Gruppe 2011

Consolidated Archiving

 One archive store
• Lync content stored with mail
in Exchange user mailboxes.
• Everything textual: IMs,
uploads, whiteboards, polls
 One archive policy
• Single management between
Exchange email and Lync
• Simple end-user access to
archives through Microsoft
Office Outlook®
 One compliance
experience

Server-to-Server Authentication Protocol
(OAuth)


It allows users to access their private resources (e.g. Lync Contact List, IM
Archiving) stored on Servers without having to hand out their credentials,
typically supplying username and password tokens instead. Each token grants
access to a specific service for specific resources and for a defined duration

OAuth Part II – cloud scenario

1. Lync Server contacts the
Authorization Server (Microsoft)
and requests a token to use for
communicating with e.g.
1 Authorization Server
Exchange
2
2. Authorization Server sends
Lync Server a security token
Lync Server 3
3. Lync Server uses the
acquired security token to
contact Exchange Server

© ACP Gruppe 2011

OAuth Part III – on-premise scenario

• Assign a certificate to Lync
Server's built-in token issuer.
• Configure the server that Lync
Server will communicate with
to be a "partner application."
1 For example, if Lync Server
needs to communicate with
Microsoft Exchange then you
Lync Server
will need to configure Microsoft
Exchange to be a partner
application.
1. Lync Server uses its own
Note:
security token to directly A "partner application" is any application that Microsoft
contact Exchange Server Lync Server can directly exchange security tokens
with, without having to go through a third-party security
token server.

© ACP Gruppe 2011

Prerequisites and Configuration

 only Microsoft Exchange 2013, SharePoint Server 2013, and Lync Server
2013currently support Oauth
 Certificate: token issuer certificate (OAuthTokenIssuer)
- must be request able on PKI
- every Web Server Certificate that includes the name of the SIP Domain in the
Subject Field can be used as OAuthTokenIssuer Certificate

Get-CsCertificate -Type OAuthTokenIssuer
Import-CsCertificate –Identity global –Type OAuthTokenIssuer –Path
C:CertificatesServerToServerAuth.pfx –Password "P@ssw0rd“
If a Certificate exists for (e.g. the default certificate) it can be used:
$x = (Get-CsCertificate -Type Default).Thumbprint
Set-CsCertificate –Identity global -Type OAuthTokenIssuer -Thumbprint $x

Configuration (CsPartnerApplication)
Set-CSPartnerApplication.ps1
 if ((Get-CsPartnerApplication app -ErrorAction  $shp = Get-CsPartnerApplication microsoft.sharepoint -
SilentlyContinue) -ne $Null) ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
 { 
 Remove-CsPartnerApplication app  if ($shp -eq $null)

 $exch = Get-CsPartnerApplication microsoft.exchange - microsoft.sharepoint -MetadataUrl http://atl-sharepoint-

 } microsoft.sharepoint -ApplicationTrustLevel Full
 else  }
 {  }
 Set-CsPartnerApplication -Identity 
microsoft.exchange -ApplicationTrustLevel Full  Set-CsOAuthConfiguration -ServiceName 00000004-0000-
 } 0ff1-ce00-000000000000
 }
If your REALM should be different from the Organization Name (EXCHANGE) you need to specify incl. the REALM Parameter:
Set-CsOAuthConfiguration -ServiceName 00000004-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000 –Realm "contoso.com"

Configuration (Set Metadata URL +
PartnerApp)

MetadataURL:
Lync 2013 Preview:
https://atl-exchange-001.litwareinc.com/autodiscover/metadata/v1/json

Lync 2013 RTM:
https://atl-exchange-001.litwareinc.com/autodiscover/metadata/json/1

When you run this script you might receive an error message similar to the following:

 New-CsPartnerApplication : Cannot bind parameter 'MetadataUrl' to the target. Exception setting
"MetadataUrl": "The metadata document could not be downloaded from the URL in the MetadataUrl
parameter or downloaded data is not a valid metadata document."

 This error message typically means one of two things:
1) that one of the URLs specified in the script is invalid (that is, one of your metadata URLs is not
actually a metadata URL); or,
2) that of the metadata URLs could not be contacted. If this happens, verify that the URLs are
correct and are accessible, and the re-run the script

OAuth and Partner App Verification

 Verification of configured PartnerApplication settings:
Get-CsPartnerApplication

 Result:
Identity : microsoft.exchange
AuthToken : Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.
Settings.SSAuth.UseOAuthServer
Name : microsoft.exchange
Realm : contoso.com
ApplicationTrustLevel : Full
Enabled : True
